Ah yes, the height of the Puff Daddy craze, this was it right here. Summer 1997. The two hottest songs of the year were Notorious B.I.G.’s “Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems” and Puff Daddy’s “I’ll …

This is, without any question, without any shadow of a doubt, my favorite U2 album. I know, U2 has released many good albums, but to me personally this one is the best. And I am ready to defend this album. For, you see, there might actually be a need …

Cuckoo Cuckoo is a song by Animal Collective and is the penultimate track on their album Strawberry Jam. Opening up with an introduction which initially has a somewhat confusing sound, the band establishes a firmer structure after around a minute where a piano carries the rhythm and the vocals …

Do you want fries with that is about a man who is struggling to keep up with paying his exes bills by working a second job at a fast food place. It’s a bit tongue in cheek and he is definitely a bitter man. He isn’t so much worried …

As far as my musical taste goes, I would say that I am more of a soul, and rap type of guy, but there are always about four or five songs from all genres that I really enjoy and thus add to my collection.
Of all the genres though, I …

When I was a little boy, we had only about five CDs in the household. This was back in mid 1990s. And one of these CDs was this, Zoolook. And I remember how amazed I was, as a seven year old kid, listening to this music. Some of the …

When I first started playing the drums about one year ago, I acquired a pair of Pro-Mark Millennium II sticks. These are size 5A, which is perfect for my playing style (drum kit - mostly alternative, rock and contemporary Christian music). Tagged “The Natural,” this pair of sticks is …

If this is graduation it’s from a 2 year school. The sampling and tired metaphors from kanye west is old. Rap is about bravado but kanye is that times ten. He not only tell u he’s the best at rapping every other sentence he also mentions he’s the best …

Dancing With Mr. D is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Goats Head Soup. The track starts off with a fairly laid-back guitar riff from Richards which seems to have a blues feel to it but the drum rhythm sort of gives the song …

I am a hip hop artist who used to sing secular hip hop. I used to sing about the type of life I lived, which was a life of partying, sex, relentless pursuit of fast money, anger, pride and any other sinful thing you could think about. Until I …

The lyrics and the music both is so great and touch. Like the other …

Coldplay is a British band specializing in the Alternative rock genre.

Ramble On is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their second record, Led Zeppelin II. Ramble On begins with an acoustic guitar pattern primarily in the right channel and also an interesting percussive rhythm and bass line as well. Plant comes in with the vocals of the …

I suppose the important thing to note about The Outsiders soundtrack being reviewed is that it’s the soundtrack CD released in Germany. It’s important to mention because it doesn’t match completely what is on the American version, or in the American movie at any rate.
The Outsiders has an …

I thought Elliot Yamin got robbed in the American Idol when he was booted out at the top five of the competitions. Now after releasing his debut album, which has sold over seven million copies in America and more worldwide. I think the real America has spoken.
I love Elliot …

KISS - DYNASTY
The last ‘big’ KISS album and the beginning of the end for the band. (Peter Criss doesn’t even play drums here…anton Fig fills in although he never received credit)
Alot of coplaints on this album dealt with KISS going ‘disco’ with the inclusion of I WAS MADE FOR …

Scars by papa roach is a song I absolutely love because it describes how much a person can care for another person so much they are willing to be hurt just to help this other person but there is just so much you can do for a person. This …

No More Tears is my favorite solo album by Ozzy Osbourne.I love every song on the album with all of my heart’s content.The reason mainly is Zakk Wylde’s guitar playing.However, I feel like they captured Ozzy’s voice and desire in a very mature time in his life.The overall feel …

Andy Griggs is one of those country music artists that only have a good song every so often. But he really landed a good one with this one. It’s funny though because the girl he describes in this song kind of descibes me. Anyway, in the song he describes …

The Gift by Garth Brooks is kind of an odd song for him in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong it’s a very beautiful song but it has a certain Spanish flavor and tone to the song. That is something I would not have expected to hear in …

When Baz Luhrmanns Wear Sunscreen became a hit when I was in my late teens I was amazed. How could this be a song. It was someone talking and it had been played to be music. I couldn’t quite fathom how such a performance had been so popular with …

Queen, quite simply a legendary band, with the best entertainer of all time fronting the band. An absolute classic that is always played when a sports team wins a trophy in the U.K, is We Are The Champions.
What I love about this song is the very start. The way …

The Wall is Pink Floyd’s, or better said, Roger Water’s overpompous, pretentious double album. A rockopera in the true sense of the word, since it has a storyline, imagery, and overarching musical theme. It became Pink Floyd’s most recognasible albums over history, along with The Dark Side of The …

This album was released back in 1999, and is one of my favourite Albums done by the Aussie band. The boys had started being in a band back in 1994 when they were young teenagers and has had a few heavier hard rocking albums before this one. I find …

“Precious Burden” is the 2nd studio album from Swedish pop sensation Sophie Zelmani. Her second album takes a darker turn compared to her debut album (Sophie Zelmani) as it deals with the concept of death and loss.
The album opens with the gloomy “Leaving”, a heartwrenching ballad about a woman …

It was a song by Hillsong but this particular song was sung by Kate Spence. A very good singer with a tranquil voice that will make you sing along as the melody gives smooth to the ears when you listen to it.
I like how soft the guitar strum is …

The song Forty Acres by Red Sovine makes me think of something I would sing. I can definitely relate to this song when I was learning how to drive a five ton truck and deuce n half for the National Guard. When I first learned how to drive a …

I think that Howl is a very strong album. This is an album, which has a very high emphasis on songs. By that I mean that, with many artists, they would have 10 or 15 songs on an album, and all the songs would sound very similar to each …

This is another of Chris Cornell’s solo albums but very different from anything he has ever done before. He worked with Timbaland on this, so already you’ll know it doesn’t sound like Soundgarden, Audioslave or even his other previous solo work.
I’m a huge Chris Cornell fan, so I …

“Brokenheartsville” is a song by country music artist Joe Nichols. Joe Nichols has been active on the music scene for over 10 years now and has had such hits as “I Will Wait For You” and “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall off” However, in my opinion, this song stands …

I have been a fan of the popular dancehall deejay Vybz Kartel. This is as a result of a combination of mostly two factors. The first is because of his personality which I guess would include the things he has done to earn himself a crimminal record, and a …

The Close Lobsters are probably a band that a majority of you haven’t heard of. Hell, if it wasn’t for Pandora Radio, I’d probably would have never heard of them either. They are originally from Paisley, Scotland and did have a rather short lived career. Despite that, I feel …

Light From Above is Black Tide’s first and only album so far, but there is supposed to be a new album coming out within the next year. The lyrics in this album don’t really have any deep meaning, but that isn’t the focus of this band. The focus is …

No Prayer For The Dying is the title track of a record put out by Iron Maiden. The song starts off right away with a melodic guitar lead which I swear I’ve heard before in another Maiden song but I can’t remember exactly where it came from, it reminds …

I really respect Mary J.Blige as a singer cum songwriter, as she has certainly come a long way from bankruptcy, and now, writing songs for this album.
When I first heard her voice before way I knew who she was, I had already been captured by her smooth sailing voice, …
